Cyberpunk 2077 Just Got a New Multiplayer Mod, Complete With RP Servers

Last month, Cyberpunk 2077 got an ambitious multiplayer mod, NightCoop. This is great if you want to play with up to eight players, going through the main story with friends. However, if you want something even more chaotic, we now have another multiplayer project: Open//77. This essentially turns Cyberpunk 2077 into GTA Online, letting servers of often more than 100 players mess around in Night City, getting up to various roleplay shenanigans.

Open//77 was just released in alpha, meaning that anyone can now download it and give it a try themselves. You need to own both Cyberpunk 2077 and the Phantom Liberty expansion for it to work, but as long as that’s covered, you’re able to experience this new take on Night City.

While NightCoop is great if you want a pretty vanilla game experience, albeit with multiple Vs running around, Open//77 is more like a big playground. You have different roles and different tasks to get up to than in the base game. As you can also see in the footage, you can play in third-person.

It also looks like there’s more of a focus on just hanging out in the open world. One video shows players meeting up in a room they rented to play a board game. There are also more aesthetic features to play around with, such as an expanded vehicle customisation menu.

Every server has its own theme. The most popular is NCRP, which supports up to 1,000 players looking to roleplay. Others are more combat, PvP focussed. Something to consider if you are interested is that Open//77 openly admits to using AI in the development process. Indeed, AI is why we are seeing so many fan-made projects like this released at once. It has divided the modding community , as many were making unofficial multiplayer mods like this long before generative AI was a factor. Earlier this month, Nexus Mods, the biggest platform for mods on the internet, reacted by enforcing mandatory disclosure for mods with AI-assisted code, and letting users filter AI-assisted mods out of their search criteria or preferences.

I tried Open//77 out, but it did not play nice with my heavily modded setup. Open//77 does support mods (and you can even temporarily download a host’s mods if you join their server), but messing around with my own mods so soon after having to fix them for the latest official update seemed a bit too daunting just now.

Wherever you land on projects like this, it’s no wonder there is an appetite for them. Cyberpunk 2077 was supposed to get an official multiplayer mode, but this was scrapped after the base game’s messy launch . A sequel is in development now, so we’ll have to wait and see if CD Projekt Red can make it work for that.
